I found this dentist about 3 years ago in the yellow pages one morning when one of my teeth cracked…read moreand broke. They were able to schedule me in that day! They will often have some unscheduled time in case of dental emergencies such as mine. Now for the review of care...but first a bit of my own history. I have been the recipient of much brutal dentistry begining at age 6. Despite my endeavor in oral hygine; my teeth are simply weak. I've had root canals other places over my years and I can tell you without a doubt Dr. Hayhurst is the most gentle and understanding. They have t.v.'s on the ceilings with headphones to help drown out the sounds and distract from the inevitable actions necessary to repair a tooth. Extra care to place protective eyewear on patients from light glare is also a kind service. Billing is never fun, but services are all explained carefully and no service is rendered without consent. I appreciate that he also explains personally all the services needed in order to have a completely healthy set of teeth. That doesnt mean you have to have all the work done; but its nice to know what's not right in there. I'd also like to add I'm 100% self-pay (no insurance)...and Dr. Hayhurst doesn't have the most inexpensive services, but the quality of care and service is top notch! No wonder he is the official dentist for the Idaho Steelheads!

I visited Dr. Hayhursts office for a simple cleaning having no tooth pain or inkling of any…read morecavities. I told him that I haven't been to the dentist in a few years. That's when the scare campaign began. The connection between oral health and heart health got pretty dramatic. He went into salesman mode! Made me feel like I had to take immediate action beginning with x-rays. Didn't go there for x-rays! But I agreed to the x-rays. following x-rays cavities were found. Wasn't confident that I even had cavities. More salesman mode! I went ahead reluctantly with filling 4 cavaties. Long story short the work he preformed was sloppy and my bite was altered in a bad way and will never be the same. I now have to take tiny bites and chew very carefully or I will bite the inside of my cheek on one side or the other. In the end he blamed the problem on me and said his work was perfect. His staff is very good at what they do but Dr. Hayhurst is a way better salesman that he is a dentist! If you're thinking about going to him don't !!!! Find a different dentist.

Dr Booth and his staff are amazing. I had an infection after treatment at an Endo... the Endo…read moredismissed my pain and the fact that I even had a problem. A quick call to Ustick and they had me in same day. Dr Booth flushed it out, gave me an after care plan and even took the time to call me personally the next day to be sure I was ok. His treatment completely fixed the issue. I literally had no pain going into the next day. Dr Booth also did a crown on me the prior visit and it was so smooth. He did the whole thing in office the same day. Best easiest visit there too. I can't imagine going to anyone else after being treated so well and with such care. The staff is also so kind and supportive and when it comes to billing they make it so easy to understand. My dental office will always be Ustick Dental. Ps I drive in from Caldwell because it so great!

I changed to this practice after retirement and finding my previous dental group did not accept my…read morenew dental insurance. As I sought a practice, I was not treated well by another office. At Ustick, the receptionist was very gracious. I've been welcomed by the hygienist and dentist as well. Exams are thorough and what I've come to expect. Have made 3 visits and my experience has been very consistent. I'm glad I found them! Update 8/1/18 I've continued to appreciate the kind attentiveness of Erin as my hygienist and Dr Booth. I had recent visits with both and found them thorough and expert in their approaches. Erin is sensitive and complete in her work. In a subsequent appointment, I had to have two fillings replaced and Dr Booth found an adjacent tooth also had decay. Instead of yet another appointment, he was able to take care of it while I was in the chair- greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this practice. Everyone- including the front desk staff- participates to make me feel welcome and help me remember my pre-medication! They are consistently caring. Thanks!
